The following is one of several panels giving them advice. Since most of you reading this are married, I'll try to apply it to that.
It's easy to dismiss this stuff as trivial and old-fashioned. It can also seem silly to apply to married folk since you live together.
But here's where I see some wisdom: Dress for him and "greet him with a smile!"
Recently we met a couple and were doing marriage-talk. The wife mentioned that back when her oldest was still a baby and she had stayed home all day with him, her mother stopped by and gave her some advice: "Put on some lipstick before your husband comes home."
"What? I've been home all day, taking care of the house, and nursing a baby. Why should I put lipstick on?" she must have been thinking.
Our friend, though, recognized what her mother understood: looking good for your spouse is not something to discard once you "have" each other, or even when you are just tired.
Also, just because you had a rough day or don't like your job, doesn't mean you should just smear your bad mood in your spouse's face. Yes, you are supposed to be honest with each other, but start by greeting each other with joy, happiness, and love and then look for a time to vent or unload.
So, remember to keep attracting each other and keep greeting each other "with a smile!"
